This morning, ASUS_AI2205_A and ASUS_AI2205_B were listed on the China 3C certification. According to sources, both devices belong to the ROG Phone 7, but only their regions are different. The one ending with A belongs to the global variant, while the second is the Chinese variant.
Both devices use the same traditional 65W charger that ASUS has already used in its ROG Phone 6 series. The charger supports charging in the following modes: 16.25-65W, 15W, 27W, 36W, and 45W.
Other than that, the 3C certification doesn’t leak much more. However, previous leaks suggest that the ROG Phone 7 series will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset (except for the ROG Phone 7D). This SoC is the best option for Android smartphones at the moment.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is based on TSMC’s 2nd-generation 4nm manufacturing process and features the following cores: 1x Cortex-X3 core, 2x Cortex-A715 cores, 2x Cortex-A710 cores and 3x Cortex-A510 cores.
There are three devices in the ROG Phone 7 series, including the ROG Phone 7, ROG Phone 7D, and the ROG Phone 7 Ultimate. These devices will feature an AMOLED display and run the latest Android 13 operating system. Additionally, the ROG Phone 7 and 7D will have a maximum storage capacity of 16+256GB, while the Ultimate version will have a 16+512GB variant.
Currently, there is very little information about the ROG Phone 7 series. However, it is expected to launch in the third quarter of 2023.
